Den senaste tidens framväxt av miljötvister på internationell nivå har väckt frågan vilka instrument som finns tillgängliga för miljöskydd. Särskilt relevant har frågan varit hur miljöskydd och grundläggande rättigheter kan kombineras. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka på vilka sätt miljöskydd och grundläggande rättigheter har strålat samman på europeisk nivå, genom att studera miljöskyThe recent surge in environmental litigation on an international level has posed the question what instruments there are available for environmental protection, especially combining environmental protection with fundamental rights. This thesis seeks to examine in what ways environmental protection and fundamental rights have converged on an European level, through studying the environmental p

Most of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw

Utvecklingen av kriminella nätverk och deras rekrytering av barn i Sverige är och fortsätter vara en oroande utveckling. Rekryteringen utförs ofta av äldre barn, processen går ofta snabbt och yngre barn ses som billig arbetskraft som är lätt att manipulera till att begå olika typer av allvarliga brott. Dessa barn är ofta både offer och förövare på samma gång. För att hantera rekryteringen och att

Observations from three case studies of public sector reforms are reported. These observations concern managerial attitudes to personnel resistance, and they reveal how management talks of resistance either as an emotional reaction or as a personality trait with certain employees. Based on these assumptions it is considered legitimate to disregard employee objections. Personnel were invited to the

Biobreeding-diabetes prone (BB-DP) rats spontaneously develop organ-specific autoimmunity and are severely lymphopenic and particularly deficient in ART2+ regulatory T cells. A special breed, the so-called BB-diabetic-resistant (DR) rats, are not lymphopenic and do not develop organ-specific autoimmunity. The genetic difference between both strains is the lymphopenia (lyp) gene. Intrathymic tolera

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans consist of a small family of proteins decorated with one or more covalently attached heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains. These chains have intricate structural patterns based on the position of sulfate groups and uronic acid epimers, which dictate their ability to engage a large repertoire of heparan sulfate-binding proteins, including extracellular matrix prote

Measurements of fetal aortic blood flow velocity and fetal growth were performed in 178 pregnancies. In 87 cases, the estimated fetal weight was > 2 SD below the gestational age-related mean of the population. Three fetuses died in utero. In 148 children (84%) an assessment of overall intellectual ability was performed at 6.5 years of age. Verbal and global IQ was lower in the group with an abnorm

Measurements of fetal aortic blood flow velocity and fetal growth were performed in 178 pregnancies. In 87 cases, the estimated fetal weight was > or = 2 SD below the gestational age-related mean of the population. Three fetuses died in utero. In 149 children (85%), a neurological examination was performed at 7 years of age with special emphasis on minor neurological dysfunction. The frequency of

INTRODUCTION: Health promotion in everyday settings is of great importance for both individual health and organizational sustainability. A settings-based approach emphasizes how social, physical, and organizational contexts shape the conditions for health. Central principles in health promotion are participation, empowerment, and person-centeredness, which emphasize the active role of the person o

All assessments are events within a process that has the goal of making decisions about instruction, learning, curriculum, students, institutions, and consequences. Three underlying disciplines (i.e., psychometrics, psychology, and sociology) inform the evaluation of assessments. Error is ubiquitous in the selection of tasks that constitute an assessment, the administration, marking, reporting, an

Cosmological models and their parameters are widely debated, especially about whether the current discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant, H 0, obtained by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation could be alleviated when alternative cosmological models are considered. Thus, combining high-redshift probes, such as gamma-ray bursts

Background: A panel of four kallikrein markers (total, free, and intact prostate-specific antigen [PSA] and human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 [hK2]) improves predictive accuracy for Gleason score ≥7 (high-grade) prostate cancer among men biopsied for elevated PSA. A four-kallikrein panel model was originally developed and validated by the Dutch center of the European Randomized Study of Screeni

A search for heavy resonances decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the qq¯(′)bb¯ final state is described. The search uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. The data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations, with the largest excess found at a resonance mass of 3.0 TeV wit

Audio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences. This study systematically investigates the impact of narrative specificity and voice quality on imageability and comprehension in both sighted and non-sighted populations. Twenty non-sighted participants, including congenitally blind individuals and those who lost their si

This chapter revisits Iver Neumann’s seminal book The Uses of the Other (1999) in order to unpack its assumptions about collective identity formation in world politics. After having situated this work in its contemporary context and pointed to its significance, the chapter tries to demonstrate the extent to which its basic assumptions about collective identity formation replicates those that went

Nuvarande Jägersro trav- och galoppbana i sydöstra Malmö ska bytas ut mot bostäder. Skånska Travsällskapet planerar bygga nya Jägersro Hästcenter på sin privata mark precis bredvid. De önskar att hästcentret blir Europas ledande med fokus på hållbarhet. I juli 2024 planeras den första byggnaden invigas, den avsedd för publik, som antas tecknas till ett effektabonnemang. Det förutspås att lokal e
